I always took this thread to be your personal stream of consciousness put down for your own amusement as Im not sure how many people actually read it - perhaps I'm wrong and you have a large number of followers. But does 'your' thread warrant the position it has in the GD board? imo not, as if we all did it the board would be in a right old two and eight.

Read through the thread and you will find a great deal of very important material- revealing things that are essentially unknown and of great significance, from the perspective embodied in Rigorous Intuition. I add the art to flesh out the verbiage, to make this more than just talking heads...

William Dudley Pelley, International Fascism, and the Sirius Tradition Part VII

Image


In this installment I would like to consider whether or not the research contributed by the Young-Puharich network concerning Sirius may have been partly inspired by elements within the United States national security apparatus who were curious as to whether or not there was any merit to Pelley's claims.

With the mission statement out of the way, let us now begin examining the defense/intelligence ties Young and Puharich possessed. I shall start off with Young, but shall avoid a thorough examination here as I already wrote on the intelligence ties of his extended family at length during my examination of the Kennedy assassination (which can be found here). In brief: Young married Ruth Forbes Young, a member the famed Forbes family of Boston. Prior to her marriage to Young, Ruth Forbes had been married to George Lyman Paine, the scion of two other American blue blood clans: the Paine family and the Cabots. The Cabot family had ties to the US intelligence community since World War II.

Ruth Forbes Young

Ruth Forbes had a son with Paine, Michael Paine, who became Arthur Young's stepson upon his marriage to Paine's mother. Michael Paine would in turn marry a woman known as Ruth Hyde Paine. Michael and Ruth Paine were at the heart of the Kennedy assassination, having forged a friendship with Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald in Dallas. Marina would go on to live with Ruth after Oswald headed to New Orleans allegedly in search of work. Marina would be living with the Paines again at the time of the Kennedy assassination. They would play a key role in developing the Oswald cover story based on flimsy evidence they presented to the authorities.

Image
Ruth and Michael Paine

Both seem to have had ties to the US intelligence community and Ruth would pop up again in Nicaragua during the height of the Iran-Contra affair and was accused of monitoring liberal missionaries there for US intelligence. Thus, both Arthur Young's stepson and daughter-in-law not only had intelligence ties, they appeared in the midst of one of the greatest scandals in US history (plus Ruth Paine's work in Nicaragua during the 1980s). Beyond this Lawrence D. Bell, Young's old boss from Bell Helicopter (of whom Michael Paine was working for when he befriended the Oswalds in Dallas during 1962), was a member of the notorious Suite 8F Group, a clique of far right wing businessmen (many from Texas) with deep ties to the defense industry. This group has also been linked to the Kennedy assassination. But I digress --Again, for much more information on the deep backgrounds of individuals surrounding Young, check here.

Arthur Young

In the case of Puharich we are on much firmer footing. Puharich himself acknowledged briefing the Pentagon and the US intelligence community on the possible uses of parapsychology and ESP in warfare during the mid-1950s. Standard biographical accounts frequently make reference to these meetings.

"... Andrija Puharich, the man who introduced the controversial Israeli psychic Uri Geller to the world. Puharich, who passed away in 1995 under circumstances never resolved... was an Army officer in the early 1950s. During that time, Puharich was in and out of Edgewood Arsenal and Camp Detrick, meeting with various high-ranking officers and officials, primarily from the Pentagon, CIA, and Naval Intelligence. The purpose of the meetings was Puharich's relentless attempt to convince the military and Intelligence agencies to take the potentials of parapsychology seriously.

"In February 1953, Puharich gave a lecture on extrasensory perception to the Pentagon's Advisory Group on Psychological Warfare and Unconventional Warfare. A few months later, he was asked to give a similar presentation to the Air Force Aviation School in San Antonio, Texas.

"In November 1953... Puharich was invited to the Pentagon to meet with CIA officials and psychological warfare experts. The group was interested in funding his research into extrasensory perception, but made it clear that funds would have to go through a university that would act as what Puharich termed 'a blind.' He agreed to the proposal, but nothing happened for several months, until his commanding officer, Col. Norman W. Elton, at Edgewood Arsenal, asked if he would consider doing another lecture on extrasensory perception before a select group from Edgewood, Camp Detrick, and the CIA. The request set off a discussion on the subject between the two men, during which Elton voiced some skepticism..."


(A Terrible Mistake, H.P. Albarelli Jr., pg. 53)


Image

It was at this point that Puharich would have us believe that his involvement with the Pentagon and CIA concerning parapsychology came to a conclusion but the great H.P. Albarelli Jr. (whose A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments is easily the definitive account of the various Pentagon and CIA "medical experiments" conducted in the mid-20th century) discovered that Puharich's involvement was far more extensive than a few lectures and informal discussions.

"Recently uncovered document fragments from the mostly destroyed MKULTRA collection revealed Puharich had far more contact and interaction with the CIA and Army concerning drug experimentation that he indicates in any of his books. Indeed, it appears that Puharich participated in the number of secret experiments with amanita muscaria, the species of psychoactive mushrooms mentioned in his book. The experiments took place at prisons for men in New Jersey and Maryland, as well as at the Spring Grove Mental Hospital in Catonsville, Maryland. Also involved in these experiments was Dr. Amedeo Marrazzi.

"Worth noting, is that Col. Norman W. Elton, according to declassified Army documents, oversaw the 'use of volunteers in research in defense against chemical warfare,' including 'the exposure of individuals to the hazards of toxic chemicals.' These chemicals being 'standard or candidate CW agents or they may be standard or candidate therapeutic agents.'

"In a later 1953 presentation at Edgewood Arsenal that perhaps presaged the subsequent development of remote viewing, Puharich predicted the day 'in the not too distant future when a select cadre of soldiers will possess the ability to telepathically accomplish critical intelligence task, and may well hold the mental abilities to observe and counteract enemy movements and tactics.'


(ibid, pg. 54)

What is noteworthy about the past three decades is the way capital appropriated for itself much of the ideological froth of the defeated and co-opted movements of the 1960s. It was not the first time that the rebellion of the alienated middle classes helped to pioneer the next phase of accumulation. In the 1930s it was exactly these classes who populated the bureaucracies of the emerging welfare state. After the late 1970s, one might say that the personal computer, for the well-to-do classes of the “advanced” capitalist sector, will stand as a symbol of this phase of accumulation as the automobile did for the earlier period. Yet the computer, like the automobile before it, was much more than a technology, bound up as it was with a whole ideology of freedom. That latter ideology was the “revolution” against “bigness” and “bureaucracy” and “hierarchy,” against the “Organization Man” and the “grey flannel suit,” once among the battle cries of the 60s New Left. Where the earlier movement, both in its political as in its Bohemian/ counter-cultural form, had counterposed hedonistic consumption to the then-dominant “Puritanism,” here was the capitalist class and its minions themselves, headed by its Wall Street and City of London yuppie vanguard, plunging into designer drugs, gourmet restaurants and high fashion S+M.

"Crowley knew that the crux of tantric ritual lay in its connection with the magically induced ecstasies of sexual orgasm. Orgasm, in Reich's sense of fulminant paroxysm involving the entire organism, it is sometimes set against the Tantric concept of (a) a total orgasm, or (b) a total absence of orgasm; both these interpretations have been read into Tantric texts.

"In either case, orgasm is commonly regarded as a psychophysical phenomenon. This is incorrect. Reich emphasized the distinction between ejaculation and orgasm, the one being physical, the other being, strictly speaking, metaphysical. Ejaculation without orgasm is a common occurrence, and, as Reich pointed out, total orgasm is a far less frequent phenomena. It is undoubtedly even less frequent than he supposed. The Tantric conception of orgasm in it's directly sexual sense (for it has others), is of a more comprehensive order; it may, in fact, be described as parasexual. It Involves the Kundalini sakti; of which the sexual aspect is its most material form. The actual production of semen is the end-product, if not the waste-product, left over from an improperly and incompletely absorbed current of consciousness."

(The Magical Revival, Kenneth Grant, pg. 37)


Image
one interpretation of the Kundalini

The above-mentioned "Kundalini sakti" is a kind of corporeal/cosmic energy that is said to reside in all humans. It is often depicted as a serpent coiled at the base of the spine. With the proper techniques and training this energy can be "raised."

"None of this is helpful, however, if the individual participants are not themselves completely prepared for the ritual. This means that the operators must be demonstrably well-trained in various yogic-type exercises, from pranayama and asana and the basic forms of yogic meditation up to and including the ability to raise Kundalini. While it is not necessary for the participants to be adept at Kundalini yoga, it is required that they have some basic ability in this regard otherwise the rituals are empty gestures with no force behind them. The ability to meld mental concentration with physical, psycho-sexual response is the key toward successful completion of this type of ritual. It is a balancing act between the body's normal processes and reactions and the exertion of mental control over the same processes, made more difficult because the same requirement is demanded of the partner. In the case of a male and female operator both must be capable of at least the basic level of mental and physical control; is not useful that only one member of the couple have this ability unless the goal of the ritual is to 'vampirize' the power of the less-advanced partner.

"As mentioned earlier, one of the essential aspects of the type of training required for Tantric-type operators is the ability to take conscious control of the autonomic nervous system, represented by the reptilian or serpent brain. In Tantric terms, however, this is considered raising the serpent from the base the spine – the Goddess Kundalini – until it reaches the brain where it meets the Lord Shiva and the alchemical wedding or Gnostic marriage takes place. There are inherent dangers in this type of practice, whether you use Western or Asian terminology to describe it, and the image of the serpent – one of the most venomous creatures on earth but also the one that sheds its skin and becomes a symbol of transformation – is instructive in this regard..."
(The Dark Lord, Peter Levenda, pgs. 224-225)


Image

The dangers of raising the Kundalini without the proper training can be quite severe. The Lucid Movement notes:

"The biggest danger in activating Kundalini without being truly prepared is a shock and complete breakdown because of the fact that our whole worldview changes abruptely. In our western society we are neither socially nor religiously programmed for such experiences and a sudden deprogramming of all our values is painful and disillusioning. Everyone who is actively working on an opening of their chakra energies should understand that it will cause huge changes in their personality and a complete rearranging of their value system. An opening of the chakras means starting a new life. If we open our root chakra without knowing its purpose, we might end up in fear and paranoia, having the feeling that our survival is threatened. Opening the heart chakra means a reliving of traumatic experiences without the possibility to push negative emotions away. And opening our third eye without being grounded can make us completely sink into our own realities and losing all connection to the physical world. After all, the Kundalini burns all our negativity before refilling us with wisdom and energy."

Former ELF/Green Scare Prisoner “Exile” Now a Fascist

Posted on August 5, 2014

It’s been an open secret for months that Nathan Block (better known as “Exile”), a former Green Scare prisoner who served a number of years in prison for several Earth Liberation Front actions, has become a fascist. This has been known not just through numerous personal accounts from Olympia, but from copious postings on his tumblr blog Loyalty Is Mightier Than Fire (Exile has confirmed to local anti-fascists that the blog is his).


Image
Do you believe Anarchism and Nazism are compatible? All the anarchists killed by fascists could not be reached for comment.


If you are unfamiliar with the more obscure references to Nazism and the postwar fascist movement, except a few decorated swastikas, Exile’s blog might look like a creepy spiritual goth kid’s elaborate art project. However, if you understand the references, it is immediately obvious that Exile is going out of his way to promote a slew of fascist writers and imagery, especially those influenced by Esoteric Nazism and other forms of mystical fascism.

Reptile aliens, Jesus, cosmic turtles, and country music




ImageFrom country singer Sturgill Simpson's a bizarrely psychedelic video for the ballad "Turtles All The Way Down," seemingly about a strange innerspace where "reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your pain." The graphics were generated by Scott Draves' Electric Sheep software, and the track is from Simpson's latest album, Metamodern Sounds In Country Music.

Police seize suspected LSD in I-95 arrest near Belcamp

BY BRYNA ZUMER, bzumer@theaegis.com
6:19 p.m. EDT, July 31, 2014


A New Jersey man pulled over on I-95 near Belcamp has been accused of carrying suspected LSD in amounts that could be worth about $500,000, according to local law enforcement officials.

Maryland State Police troopers seized five to six ounces of suspected liquid LSD from a silver Nissan Altima driven by 23-year-old Daniel Enden at about 12:37 a.m. on Wednesday, according to a police report.

He was stopped near the exit for Route 543 by troopers from the JFK Highway STING (Special Traffic Initiative on Ninety-five Group), according to police.

Harford County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Cristie Kahler said that amount of the hallucinogenic drug could conservatively be estimated to be worth upward of $400,000 to $500,000, "since LSD is usually sold by a single drop on a blotter paper."

Enden, who lives in the first block of Acadia Drive in Voorhees, N.J., was charged with possessing a drug other than marijuana and possessing LSD with intent to distribute, according to online court records.

Enden was pulled over for a traffic violation, according to police, but online court records Thursday did not show any charges for traffic offenses.

He was released on his own recognizance the same day, according to the records.

I agree completely. This thread is a waste of bandwidth. It's nonsense. No analysis. Just a bunch of random images, as far as I can tell. Do everyone a favor and start a blog or something.

Moebius artwork improves the quality of life.

Cant actually remember what i've read and/or learnt from this thread but i know it has involved ;
the late 60s, cults, brainwashing, loadsa drugs, prolly cia involvement, subverted attempts at spiritual elevation gone horribly wrong,
more cults, prolly some drug-crazed california biker gangs kidnapping hippy chicks being co-opted by cia operation mindfuckery,
batshit crazy mathematicians trying to describe Nth dimensional autonomous zones for free sexual expression, naively sanctimonious
metaphysics, apotheosis, prolly metempsychosis also, stars and stripes-painted 6foot nazi cockroaches on the moon,
Owsleys spaceship blueprints, the Sonora Nevada aero club and fucked if Tesla's telepathic Martian lovechild isnt in there somewhere.

You just cant take the heat !!!
